308 Group @ 150 yards

Well, we went out today and I was trying to get the scope on the .308 right............this is a pic of the grouping at roughly 150 yards. It may not look like much, but this was done resting the front gas-block on a towel folded several times......so a semi steady rest. I would love to get it in a good gun rest and shoot it, then see what group it has.

This is a Rock River 308 LAR8 with a 26" SS bull barrel....

Not bad. But for future reference dont rest the Gas blcok or any part of a rifles barrel when shooting. Rather rest the back end of the float tube, pull the rest in toward you and get comfortable. Dont fold the towel, roll it up and use 2 if needed. Sleeping bags make wonderful shooting rests..

10-4 brother. I need to try and find something like some empty "lead shot" bags that I can fill up and use as a rest.

I love killing bambi! with my .308 of course... mow them down like grass, wink wink...

Very nice group there, was that Federal Gold Medal Match ammo? just to clarify, thanks!

That is correct. I will be shooting again this Sunday and will try to get a better grouping together by using my bi-pod. I need to adjust it to the left a bit..... and I want it to be about an inch high at that range.

On the ground not so much of a problem but on the bench I find bipod bounce to much for really good accuracy. I have made sand bags using rice, dried corn, dried peas, sand and #8 shot and so far the only one that made me happy was biting the bullet and buying a Caldwell rest.
